// Rashid Rana's Veil II (2004) is a thought-provoking photographic work that utilizes a mosaic technique to create a complex and layered visual narrative. From a distance, the image appears to depict a traditional veiled figure, emphasizing themes of identity, culture, and anonymity. However, upon closer inspection, the image is revealed to be composed of numerous smaller photographs that each tell their own story, often contrasting with the traditional motif of the veil. Rana’s approach confronts the viewer with the interplay between collective identity and individuality, examining how perceptions shift depending on perspective. This limited edition C-print of 20 copies demonstrates Rana's mastery in using digital montage to question and redefine cultural symbols.

What is Pixel Art?
Pixel Art is a form of digital art created by placing individual pixels, similar to assembling a mosaic where each small piece contributes to a larger image. The style is often associated with nostalgia, as it draws on the techniques used in early video game graphics. Pixel art has seen a resurgence in popularity, both as a nod to retro aesthetics and as a distinct artistic style in modern digital art.
